NT 716 445. Old Greenlaw is said to be 'the original town of Greenlaw' (R Gibson 1905), and was erected a burgh of barony in 1596, (G S Pryde 1965), although 'there is no reason to believe that it was much more than a hamlet'. In 1868 the 'mansion-house' of Old Greenlaw (at NT 7174 4465 on OS 6" 1862), a building of 'two storeys, with a tower above' was pulled down. In a field immediately to the E there was traditionally a 'churchyard'.
